Everyone please welcome Emilia Ray to Continued Conversations! Emilia directed my short film A Broadway Body and is an influential voice in the body image conversation as an actor, director, and intimacy director/coordinator. We began discussing body image in musical theatre back in 2021 and haven’t stopped since. I’m so excited to share our conversation with you because Em’s perspective is culture-shifting.
The work Emilia is doing empowers actors to advocate for themselves on set, on stage, and in performance settings in order to feel safe and supported in their work. I can first-hand say her work on set is deeply powerful, and I cannot wait for her upcoming Intimacy For Actors workshops to hit the Los Angeles community!
We kick off the conversation by diving into a discussion of being first-time filmmakers when we produced “A Broadway Body” and how it felt to tell that particular fictional story. We then dive into many other topics pertaining to bodies and the arts. Our full conversation is on our Substack. Head to abroadwaybody.substack.com to read the full blog post!
